Here he is, the 20 year-old, red-headed, wunderkid crooner Ed Sheeren. He’d be on a Pandora list with Jack Johnson, Damien Rice or John Mayer. But then there is a funky twist he also cites Eminen and Jay-Z as inspiration. Here is a taste of some of his tunes.

I caught a live show last week, and I was blown away. What’s so fun about Ed is that while he poetically sings and strums his guitar, he’ll break out beat boxing mid song. His favorite part of being a musician, he says? “Traveling around the world and making people happy for a living.” His favorite part about being in the US? “Chipotle!”

Want to hear him acoustic? He’s on a boat!

Ed Sheeren is certainly making waves across the pond. Not only was his album “+” #1 on the sales chart when it was released in September, it was also the biggest selling debut for a UK male in a decade and one of the UK’s top 10 selling albums of 2011. He’s amassed 1.3 million Twitter followers and is nearing 1 million likes on Facebook.

Lucky for us, his EP “The A Team” is available now, and the entire album will be released stateside in June. Trust us, it’s not long before you’ll hear him on your favorite CW show.
